Perl bindings giving a fsfs format value error

Hey guys,

I am attempting to use the SVN::Fs perl bindings to perform a hotcopy
of a repository (at this point just a test one). However, I get a
"expected format '3' got format '4'" error message (I don't have the
exact one as it was at work.

This repository was created with svn 1.4.0 (hence the format 4 issue)
and the perl bindings are from the same sources.  Has anyone else had
this issue?  I have reinstalled the swig perl bindings to make sure I
did not have any carry overs from 1.3.2, so that does not seem to be
the issue.  In fact, before I started my svn 1.4.0 compile I cleared
out all the libsvn* libneon* libapr* and then did a "find -name "SVN"
| xargs rm -fr" in the perl lib directory just to prevent these kind
of issues.

Thanks ahead of time!
Troy

Those errors mean you're using a earlier version of the Subversion
libraries to try and open a repository that was created with a newer
version and isn't backwards compatible.

So I was able to reproduce a similar error here at home.  Here is the
exact error I get at home:
Unsupported FS format: Expected FS format '2'; found format '5' at
./test.pl line 8

The only difference between this one and the one at work is the format
numbers.
